KKB…Changed Destiny: Episode 24

“Bulbul…” Arvind dragged. “You are Pragya’s family and you have all rights to know” Arvind started his story.
Not his story actually… the real incidents that occurred almost two years ago.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

“Stop being angry on me! Angry bird!—
Stop calling me that!”

“Fine… then will call you AB…”

“Not that also, both means the same idiot…I don’t want you to call me that”

“Fine…fine, come soon… and by the way angry bird, come home as a cool bird” Arvind placed the mobile back in its place, smiling.

How fond of Pragya he had become? He loved her the most and she too knew it. He doesn’t know whether she saw him the way he saw her but he was sure that she will never leave his side. Thinking of Pragya made butterflies flutter in his stomach and his favourite song playing in the background…

Kan Irandil Mothi Naan Vizhunthene
Kaaranam Indriye Naan Sirithene
Yen Manathum Eno Ennidam Illai
Vendiye Unnidam Naan Thulaithene

Yen Uyirin Uyirae
Yen Iravin Nilave
Yen Arugil Vanthu
Nee Tharuvaai Varame…

Arvind suddenly jerked as he did not want to get lost in thoughts now…
Arvind has known Pragya for the past two years and no one else knows her than him. Tomorrow is Pragya’s birthday and will he sit quiet when his love of life is celebrating her birthday?

He planned almost everything he could but never spilt a pea out! Pragya actually forgot that tomorrow is her BD…her work to be blamed!

Work! Unmarried husband of Pragya! How much he hated that fashion designing job? Though he was the one who introduced her as the designer, he literally scolds himself every time for doing that. Now, she has newly started composing too!!! Curse those jobs!
“Ring…Ring…” his phone ringed!
‘Such an old fashioned ring tone, you have Arvind! First change’ he could remember Pragya’s scowl.
He smiled and picked up the call.

“Ippa enna… angry bird?”
“I can’t come as of now. A little stuck! I am sorry”
“I knew it” Arvind cut the call with so much anger but then smiled showing all his teeth… “You come late. That’s what I want” he grinned.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Its late night… Pragya came home tired. She placed her bag and sat on the couch, not even minding to switch on the lights.

The only sound she could here was the clock ticking!
“Ch…Ch…Ch…” the second hand moved.

Suddenly the lights were on.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY Pragya!!!” everyone screamed on top of their voice.

Pragya’s face lit up within moments. Everyone wished her. Pragya was so happy.
But all the way, her eyes searched only him.

“Don’t search Pragya! He is not here” her friend teased her.
“Oh… don’t tease her. Pragya… Neethaan avana thedanum!” Mishkin told her with a smiling face.

Pragya immediately ran towards the stairs.

“He is not there” someone screamed and Pragya could hear giggles.
“Ch…” Pragya made a cute pout and ran to the streets.

She searched him everywhere, but she could see nothing else than darkness in the streets. Defeated, disappointed, she turned and started walking back.
“Ohoi Angry bird!” Pragya turned with a surprised smile.

Lights started glowing. One by one they turned on, as he approached her.

“Happy birthday” he handed her the bouquet.
*Ok… REMO scene dhaan. Kazhuvi uthaathinga friends!*

Pragya was dumb struck. She simply got the bouquet. They stood looking deeply looking into each other’s eyes.

“Hey! Enna? Pudhusa paarkura maadhiri parkura?” Arvind said after he finally came out of his dream. He couldn’t help but smile at the stunned Pragya. Pragya too became normal but was simply staring him.
“Vaa Ulla polaam” Arvind took her in.

Pragya freshened herself. She came back and saw the cake. She smiled looking at it.
“HBD ANGRY BIRD” it was written over the red angry bird that was frowning!

“I know it’s your work. Crazy fellow!” Pragya hit him in his shoulders.
“Ouch… ok now cut the cake” he said smiling and everybody started to sing… “Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday to you…”

After everything was over and people started dispersing, Arvind was near the gate, sending off.
“When you are free, come to the terrace. I want to tell you something” she told him and walked off.
*So, sorry for disturbing you in the middle, this is the most awaited moment for Arvind…I think, for us too? Am I right? I know you all are angry…so I don’t want to increase it with my bak-baks. See you at the end…now back to the story*
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

“Thank you so much Arvind. You know? You are one of the best things that happened to me in my life. There is no need to tell you… I don’t remember any of my birthdays that I celebrated before, but the two birthdays that I spent with you, I will remember all my life. Today is the most memorable day in my life” Pragya found tears gently falling. She raised her hands to wipe them.
But soon she found his hands wiping them.

“See you don’t even let my happy tears fall” Pragya said smiling and crying at the same time.
“You are getting emotional Pragya. Let’s talk later” Arvind said.
“Ch… Listen no!”
“Hmm” Arvind nodded his head.
“What was I telling?”
“Today is the most memorable day in your life”
“Haan! Today is the most memorable day in my life. After I came back from Canada, my life is so lovely I feel. And the only reason is you. Thank you so much Arvind”
“Over? Can I go?” Arvind asked with smile.
“I want to tell you something and you are not wanting to listen to it?” Pragya made a pout while Arvind sat back.

‘I think you are also gonna tell what I was trying to tell you for the past two years. Please Pragya. Tell me soon. Don’t make me wait’ Arvind found himself, getting carried away.

“I am so glad that I got such a lovely companion. His hands will always be there to wipe my tears… his support will always be there to lean my shoulders… his gag is always there to make me smile… his strengths will always be there to erase my weaknesses… over all he will always be there for me” Pragya said smiling…. “You will be there, right?”

“Not a question to ask” Arvind told raising his eyebrows.

“I promise you Arvind. In all my life, I will never leave your side. Whatever problems you face, I will be there to face it along with you… whatever your worries are, they will never remain with you… and yeah, don’t be selfish, share your joys with me too” Pragya said beaming.

“My joys are always you Pragya” Arvind said with love. Pragya hugged him.

“But Arvind, everyone is teasing me about the relationship between us” Pragya said so worried, breaking the hug gently.

“What’s the problem?” Arvind said as he wasn’t able to make out things.

“Arey, I thought of telling the same thing. See, you also don’t find any problem in it. I just wanted to tell you not to feel for those useless rumours. But I failed to realise that you will already know these things. When we are clear on what relationship we have why should we feel about others? And I know you don’t feel too. Whatever, others may think, no one can break the beautiful bond, friendship… no it is sth beyond words, between us, right? I don’t understand what the problem is with these ppl… should love be there only between a boy and a girl, in the way they think? Then what do you call a mother’s affection… a father’s care…a friend’s support…is it all not love? Anyways Arvind, I don’t want to spoil my mood thinking about them. All I wanted to tell you is that, we will always remain as the day and night, the moon and star, the land and sea, the mind and soul, the happiness and sorrow, the joy and pain… the two things that can never be separated.
Good night” Pragya got up and started walking off with a smile.

Finally, she told everything that she wanted to tell Arvind. She knows that Arvind loves her a lot, and she too loves him. But it is not the way that people talk. It’s something that words can never define…

Pragya looked back at Arvind who was smiling at her.
“You said the same things that I wanted to tell you. Don’t think about what others tell. Good night. Have a peaceful sleep” Arvind hugs her.
“I will” she said and left the place.

Arvind sees her going away, drowning all his dreams.

En Mela Kadhal Illama Pona
Penne Naan Una Vittu Enga Di Poven,
Ennoda Vaazhvil, Unnodu Sera,
Mudiyama Pona Naan Thaniyave Vaazhven …

Poraada Ava Poraada…
Ennoda Kadhala Kalli Kaattil Veesikittu
Poraada…Ava Poraada….
Ennoda Aasaiya Veedhiyila Veesiputtu
Poraada…Ava Poraada,
Ennulle Ulle Indha…
Kaadhala Naanum Solla Thedadha…
Manasu Thedadha…
Adhu Unna Mattum Thedum,
Unna Pathi Paadum…

Arvind’s eyes brim with tears…

“I know Pragya, We will always remain as the day and night, the moon and star, the land and sea, the mind and soul… the two things that can never be separated. But we still will always be the TWO things that can never be ONE!” Arvind wipes his falling tear with so much pain.

“That trust… that she has on you! You definitely don’t deserve it, Arvind.” Arvind scolded himself.
He ran into his room and slammed the door hard.
